Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin speaks on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, at a press conference at Birmingham City Hall. The city of Birmingham next week will begin blocking off streets in an attempt to reduce neighborhood crime, Mayor Randall Woodfin said this afternoon.
“We are not in a position to regulate guns, so this is also a creative, innovative way to regulate space,” he said. " We have to decrease people’s opportunity to just drive in a neighborhood to be able to freely shoot and drive out.” Woodfin said consistent complaints from residents included street prostitution and illegal dumping in alleys and drug houses.
“It’s an aggressive blight removal program, an aggressive cleanup effort, more stop signs, and a little more of everything in how we make the quality of life better for the residents of East Lake,” he said.
